Simple Pay – Let Them Pay Your Mexican Bills Online and in English

I have been a local bank customer for 15 years and I have always paid my Mexican utilities through my checking account using their auto-pay.  Recently, I started having problems with my CFE not getting paid and my electricity has been shut off.  Also, my bank was not able to set up auto-pay for my cable tv bill.  I tried unsuccessfully twice to resolve these issues but to no avail.  I started looking at other solutions for paying my bills and remembered an article I read about Simple Pay.  I just started using it and it actually is surprisingly “SIMPLE” to set up.  This is a good option for paying your bills online; it is in English, easy to edit and easy to track your bills.

Simple Pay’s Mission is to simplify Expat’s lives who are living in Mexico full or part time.  Pay your bills online today with any checking account, debit or credit card.

• SimplePay will you an email with your monthly statement and due date
• You can pay your bills online after you receive your statement via email or set-up auto payment
• SimplePay has national coverage, so regardless if your home is in Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, or Cancun, you can pay your bills through SimplePay.

You have a choice of Auto Pay or Manual Pay.  Just set up an account and get started:

• Add your bills:  Electricity, Gas, Water, Phone, Cable and Property Taxes
• For Manual Pay, add the bills you want to pay one time
• For Auto Pay, add your recurring bills and select the plan – Monthly or Yearly
• Setup the payment method and link your Bank Account, Credit Card or Debit Card

With the auto-pay version, just by providing Simple Pay with your bill’s information once, they will know the amount to pay, due date and can debit it directly from any checking account, credit or debit card. You will receive an email before your due date to confirm the payment every month.  Simple, and you’ll never have to worry again about your bills.

There is also an easy form to fill out if you need additional help. The form asks for the following information:

• Best phone number to reach you – Area Code + Number
• Best time to call you
  • 8am – 2pm (PST)
  • 2pm – 6pm (PST)
• Any notes or comments?  Not required, but helpful if you need something other than setting up a new Mexico Bill Paying account.

Remember to have handy a copy of your bills OR the account number of each bill when they call you within 48 hours.
